Since electronic components are cheap and little computers are everywhere - almost any digital gizmo offers now a built in clock: your cell phone, your iPod and even your digicam. Who still needs a huge ‘machine’ on your forearm that only can you tell the current time? In an age of multifunctional supertoys the single purpose mechanical device is slowly phased out.
I haven’t been wearing a wristwatch for over twenty years - anyone out there still using them?!
Count me among those who still wear one. In fact the one I wear looks very much like the watch pictured on the right of your image. Is that a Mondaine? I love the big face!
Aloha Judi! I guess it’s a generation thing. I remember I got a cool digital wristwatch for my confirmation as a kid. It was something special - you won clock.
Today’s kid look at their cell phones or iPod as a chronometer.
I recently showed one of my friends kid a pocket watch. He couldn’t believe his eyes. He later said: “It’s a good thing we have wireless clocks these days!”
No fakes and no insults please. Thanks!
